The fun never ends. I installed msmtp and as near as I can tell
it works as advertised. My SMTP smarthost at
Suddenlink.net presents the following banner which nicely
explains what one needs to do to get real work done. I've had a
little trouble getting msmtp to fit what is required. The
documentation provided by Suddenlink says that smtp is provided
on ports 25 and 587 and both display the following banner:
SMTP server at smtp.suddenlink.net (smtp.suddenlink.net [208.180.40.68]), port
587:
txasav-vm06.suddenlink.net ESMTP server (InterMail vM.8.04.03.20
